Getting DBS Therapy

If you are a candidate for Medtronic Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Therapy, the DBS System will be implanted during surgery. Typically, you can go home in 1 to 2 days. After your body heals, your clinician will program the stimulation and adjust it to the level that works best for you.
